Damn. I they really should have gone with MAAAAARK NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT! Champion archer of the British world.

OT: I was all for Hawkeye, honestly. If the Avengers movie didn't show his skill, the animated series, Earth's Mightiest Heroes, should have shown how good he is all around. The guy was able to convince the Hulk to help out, despite both of them having a regularly bad attitude. Dunno about you, but I find that impressive.

Shut up, Gavin! Haha

One, what is that dark haired dude smoking? Catfish never choked and missed? When she was trying to impress the judges, before shooting the apple, she missed the dummy at the range.

The best Archer is arrow/Oliver Queen from wiki (shut up) " Oliver Queen is perhaps the finest archer ever known. He claims to be able to shoot 29 arrows per minute (he stated this himself, in the Sound of Violence story arc, when he corrected Black Canary for saying 26). He has a wide-variety of trick arrows, ranging from bola arrows to time-bomb arrows to his infamous boxing-glove arrow. In recent years he has used these arrows sparingly, preferring the time-tested simple arrow. Green Arrow has shown the ability to shoot an arrow down the barrel of a gun, pierce a drop of water as it leaves a tap, and shoot almost any part of the human body; although he aims only to wound and not kill when he shoots. He once shot two arrows down two different gun barrels while upside down, in mid-flip while somersaulting off a building.

Let's see Catfish or legolas do that!

Also "Martial Arts: He is proficient in several forms of hand-to-hand combat including Judo, Kickboxing, Tae Kwon Do, and Karate. Proclaimed as a martial arts master, he has shown the ability to take on seven people at once. He spent several months dedicated to making himself a better fighter and trained with many of the world's finest martial arts teachers and even went through training from Natas, the same person who trained Deathstroke."

Dr.Awkward:C'mon Chris, you picked Katniss? You could have stood a better chance with John Rambo or Robin Hood!

Robin Hood, been a badass Archer since almost before Time immemorial (and only just after it, as Richard the 1sts Corrination was for centuries used as the definition of before time immemorial, and Robin hoods legend is based during Richards crusades).

Best Archer of his mythos, check, makes archery look cool, and more effective than anything else as well as aiding movement etc, check, supurb swordsman (and with a range of other weapons), check.

Katniss? Really? Want to know who would have been a better choice than Katniss? As others have mentioned, I'd take Hawkeye, Green Arrow, Robin Hood or how about Odysseus? Damned kids and their newfangled nonsense...

... But this really is kind of ridiculous. Legolas is an impossibly good archer, in that what he does with a bow is impossible. It only makes sense to pair him off with another impossibly good archer. I know the new Hunger Games movie came out very recently, but it really should have been either Green Arrow or Hawkeye.

Admittedly, you guy seriously hit the nail on the head with Legolas choking on the olympic-torch orc when it fucking mattered most.

I feel like Katniss isn't really defined by her archerness as much as her refusal to die and her spirit.

Whereas Legolas basically is 'archer dude'. He's not dramatic, he's not really comic relief, he's sort of straightman sidekick to Gimli's funny sidekick but barely even really that. What he is, is a guy with a bow who shoots impossibly well.

A real British WWII solider who spent the early part of the war leading small scale counter attacks on German supply depots and communications systems as every other unit was being slowly pushed back to the French coast. What makes that more impressive? He did it for the most part with only a motorbike, a bow, and a broardsword.

After Dunkirk he enlisted in the commando's and led a raid on Norway, playing "March of the Cameron Men" as he lept from the landing craft, grenaded an enemy position, and charged forwards.

2 beach landings later he took a occupied town in Italy taking 42 prisoners largely without a fight. He did that by creeping up to their position, aiming his bow at them, and telling them very loudly and clearly to give up. When asked about it he explained "I maintain that, as long as you tell a German loudly and clearly what to do, if you are senior to him he will cry 'jawohl' and get on with it enthusiastically and efficiently whatever the situation"He, and all 42 prisoners, then marched back to camp with the wounded being pushed in wheelbarrows and on carts like something from the Napoleonic era.

He was finally captured in Yugoslavia when his attacking force was decimated. He was the last man alive lightly injured, but still had the strength to play "Will Ye No Come Back Again?" on the bagpipes until a grenade knocked him out. It was in that battle he became the last British soldier to kill an enemy with an arrow fired from a bow.

But that wasn't the end. After being sent to a concentration camp in Germany he immediately started to plan an escape. 2 attempts later he successfully walked 100 miles to the American lines and he requested reassignment to Burma as the nukes were dropped. His quote on that is perhaps the most bloodthirsty and unapologetically badass thing ever. "If it wasn't for those damn Yanks, we could have kept the war going another 10 years." Yeah. He wanted to war to continue. He wasn't fighting to win, or to beat the Nazi's. He was fighting because he enjoyed it.

After the war he was shipped to Palestine and fought again, saving the lives of around 700 Jewish doctors in the evacuations.

He retired after that, took up surfing, and reportedly threw a briefcase out of his train home every day.

He died in 1996 at the age of 89.

This has to be more badass, and all round better, than any fictional option. He was a real soldier that went around killing Nazi's with a longbow. Not even Legolas killed Nazi's with a longbow (And if he did I actually want to see that fanfic).In fact, the Oxford definitions of 'badass' and 'hardcore' have both been replaced with just a picture of 'Mad' Jack Churchill holding his broadsword over his head as he leapt from a landing craft, screaming "COMMANDO!!" at the top of his lungs.

I agree with the above comments about the criminal lack of Green Arrow & Hawkeye in this debate. By the sounds of it, Katfish doesn't really do much in her story (and those character names will never stop being ridiculous), but Legolas was the much better choice to win.

If you want proof for this episode just how rarely Katnis uses her bow, look here. Though if you take Legolas's kill count as mostly arrow kills, he's much better. Yeah he choked but he also put three arrows into the runner in what should have been lethal shots and the helmet covered the eye slits
